A hellebore (flower) breeder is having a contest to name some new varieties: linky. I just nominated 2002-097 (seventh row down, far left column) to be called “Cecil Adams.”
They say they want us to stuff the ballot box…
(Mods – pretty please don’t lock this down? It’s for the greater glory of Unca Cece!)
Done and done.
Out of curiosity, and reason you picked 2002-097?
That’s a very pretty variety. Inasmuch as I don’t imagine The Master to be pretty … I nominated his name, anyway!
Daddy did it too.
I don’t know if I want a FLOWER named in my honor, but we can’t all go being picky about how we’re honored, can we?
You got it. Here’s hoping.
I looked at them all and didn’t see any that struck my as evoking “World’s Smartest Human,” so I just went for pretty.
I voted.
With luck…
You know, now that I’ve thought of it…
I think, if I could be picky, that I’d want a new, super-sweet deep sea drill or a new way to kill a person…ooh…or a new sexual maneuver.
…time to get back to the old drawing board now.
It’s not as terrific a deal as you would think.
Done. Neat-o!
This is true…let’s rephrase that.
A new sexual maneuver…with a person .
There. That should tidy it up.
I voted a la Capone: Early and often. 
That is a pretty flower, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of the hellebore being associated with dear old Uncle Cecil when Cece’s anything but.

Ah, but it’s a 1920s style DEATH hellebore.
So if good ol’ 2002-097 is indeed named for Unca Cece, we’ll all get our own Unca Cece flower? Tres 
Done!
I voted! I did my part! 
Done! I would so love a 1920’s Style Death Hellebore…
Done. This is cool!
Voted.
Well, we have quite a lot of members haven’t we? This could be fun.
done.
